b, c (Using a liquid with a lower heat capacity than water means that the candle flame will raise the liquid's temperature more quickly than for water. A thicker balloon will conduct heat through to the liquid more slowly, so that the outer part of the balloon wall will heat up more quickly to its melting point.)
